If ->get_char() returns a negative error code and that can mean that
"ch" is uninitialized. The callers of this function expect NO_POLL_CHAR
on error so let's return that.

tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() drops the tty lock while waiting
for the tty driver to finish sending previously accepted data (ie.,
data remaining in its write buffer and transmit fifo).
tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() was added by commit a57a7bf3fc7e
("TTY: define tty_wait_until_sent_from_close") to prevent the entire
tty subsystem from being unable to open new ttys while waiting for
one tty to close while output drained.
However, since commit 0911261d4cb6 ("tty: Don't take tty_mutex for tty
count changes"), holding a tty lock while closing does not prevent other
ttys from being opened/closed/hung up, but only prevents lifetime event
changes for the tty under lock.
Holding the tty lock while waiting for output to drain does prevent
parallel non-blocking opens (O_NONBLOCK) from advancing or returning
while the tty lock is held. However, all parallel opens _already_
block even if the tty lock is dropped while closing and the parallel
open advances. Blocking in open has been in mainline since at least 2.6.29
(see tty_port_block_til_ready(); note the test for O_NONBLOCK is _after_
the wait while ASYNC_CLOSING).
IOW, before this patch a non-blocking open will sleep anyway for the
_entire_ duration of a parallel hardware shutdown, and when it wakes, the
error return will cause a release of its tty, and it will restart with
a fresh attempt to open. Similarly with a blocking open that is already
waiting; when it's woken, the hardware shutdown has already completed
to ASYNC_INITIALIZED is not set, which forces a release and restart as
well.
So, holding the tty lock across the _entire_ close (which is what this
patch does), even while waiting for output to drain, is equivalent to
the current outcome wrt parallel opens.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:
drivers/tty/hvc/Kconfig:config HVC_DRIVER
drivers/tty/hvc/Kconfig: bool
...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only, even
though someone bothered to comment that the code was not used.
Unlike other changes, this driver binds in w/o using module_init,
so we dont have init ordering concerns with this commit.

Some backends call hvc_kick() to wakeup the HVC thread from its
slumber upon incoming characters. This however doesn't work
properly because it uses msleep_interruptible() which is mostly
immune to wake_up_process(). It will basically go back to sleep
until the timeout is expired (only signals can really wake it).
Replace it with a simple shedule_timeout_interruptible() instead,
which may wakeup earlier every now and then but we really don't
care in this case.

When 'console=hvc0' is specified to the kernel parameter in x86 KVM guest,
hvc console is setup within a kthread. However, that will cause SEGV
and the boot will fail when the driver is builtin to the kernel,
because currently hvc_console_setup() is annotated with '__init'. This
patch removes '__init' to boot the guest successfully with 'console=hvc0'.

Commit 3e6c6f630a5282df8f3393a59f10eb9c56536d23 ("Delay creation of
khcvd thread") moved the call of hvc_init from being a device_initcall
into hvc_alloc, and used a non-null hvc_driver as indication of whether
hvc_init had already been called.
The problem with this is that hvc_driver is only assigned a value
at the bottom of hvc_init, and so there is a window where multiple
hvc_alloc calls can be in progress at the same time and hence try
and call hvc_init multiple times. Previously the use of device_init
guaranteed that hvc_init was only called once.
This manifests itself as sporadic instances of two hvc_init calls
racing each other, and with the loser of the race getting -EBUSY
from tty_register_driver() and hence that virtual console fails:
Couldn't register hvc console driver
virtio-ports vport0p1: error -16 allocating hvc for port
Here we add an atomic_t to guarantee we'll never run hvc_init twice.

Introduce a new callback to explicitly handle the HUPCL termios control flag.
This prepares for a follow-up commit for the hvc_iucv device driver to
improve handling when to drop an established network connection.
The callback naming is based on the recently added tty_port interface to
facilitate a potential refactoring of the hvc_console to use tty_port
functions.

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use
tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many
call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more
tty_port_tty_get in those paths.
Now, the one where most of tty_port_tty_get gets removed:
tty_flip_buffer_push.
IOW we also closed all the races in drivers not using tty_port_tty_get
at all yet.
Also we move tty_flip_buffer_push declaration from include/linux/tty.h
to include/linux/tty_flip.h to all others while we are changing it
anyway.

Commit bdb498c20040 "TTY: hvc_console, add tty install" took the port
refcounting out of hvc_open()/hvc_close(), but failed to remove the
kref_put() and tty_kref_put() calls in hvc_hangup() that were there to
remove the extra references that hvc_open() had taken.
The result was that doing a vhangup() when the current terminal was
a hvc_console, then closing the current terminal, would end up calling
destroy_hvc_struct() and making the port disappear entirely. This
meant that Fedora 17 systems would boot up but then not display the
login prompt on the console, and attempts to open /dev/hvc0 would
give a "No such device" error.
This fixes it by removing the extra kref_put() and tty_kref_put() calls.

hvc_console has two methods to instanciate the consoles.
hvc_instanciate is meant to be called at early boot, while hvc_alloc is
called for more dynamically probed objects.
Currently, it only deals with adding kernel consoles in the former case,
which means for example that if a console only uses dynamic probing, it
will never be usable as a kernel console even when specifying
console=hvc0 explicitly, which could be considered annoying...
More specifically, on pseries, we only do the early instanciate for the
console currently used by the firmware, so if you have your firmware
configured to go to a video card, for example, you cannot get your
kernel console, oops messages, etc... on your serial port or hypervisor
console, which would be handy to deal with oopses.
This fixes it by checking if hvc_console.flags & CON_ENABLED is set when
registering a new dynamic console, and if not, redo the index check and
re-register the console if the index matches, allowing console=hvcN to
work.

This has two outcomes:
* we give the TTY layer a tty_port
* we do not find the info structure every time open is called on that
tty
Since we take a reference to a port in ->install, we need also

This reverts commit 361162459f62dc0826b82c9690a741a940f457f0.
It causes an infinite loop when booting Linux under Xen, as so:
[ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled
[ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled
[ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled
...
as reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk. And Rusty reports the same for
lguest. He goes on to say:
"This is not a concurrency problem: the issue seems to be that
calling register_console() twice on the same struct console is a bad
idea."
and Greg says he'll fix it up properly at some point later. Revert for now.

printk only works for "registered consoles." Currently, the hvc_console
code calls register_console() from hvc_instantiate(), but that's only
used in the early console case. In hvc_alloc(), register_console() was
not called.
Add a call to register_console() in hvc_alloc(), set up the index in
the hvc_console, and set up the necessary vtermnos[] and cons_op[]
entries so that printk functions work.

Let's use the newly added helper to avoid stalls in drivers which are
not yet ported to tty_port helpers.
Those which are broken (call tty_wait_until_sent with irqs disabled)
are left untouched. They are in a deeper trouble than we are trying to
solve here. This includes amiserial, 68328serial, 68360serial and
crisv10.

Add poll_get_char and poll_put_char for kdb. Enable kdb at boot with:
kgdboc=hvc0
or at runtime with:
echo hvc0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc

Currently, the hvc_console_print() function drops console output if the
hvc backend's put_chars() returns 0. This patch changes this behavior
to allow a retry through returning -EAGAIN.
This change also affects the hvc_push() function. Both functions are
changed to handle -EAGAIN and to retry the put_chars() operation.
If a hvc backend returns -EAGAIN, the retry handling differs:
- hvc_console_print() spins to write the complete console output.
- hvc_push() behaves the same way as for returning 0.
Now hvc backends can indirectly control the way how console output is
handled through the hvc console layer.

On pseries machines, consoles are provided by the hypervisor using
a low level get_chars/put_chars type interface. However, this is
really just a transport to the service processor which implements
them either as "raw" console (networked consoles, HMC, ...) or as
"hvsi" serial ports.
The later is a simple packet protocol on top of the raw character
interface that is supposed to convey additional "serial port" style
semantics. In practice however, all it does is provide a way to
read the CD line and set/clear our DTR line, that's it.
We currently implement the "raw" protocol as an hvc console backend
(/dev/hvcN) and the "hvsi" protocol using a separate tty driver
(/dev/hvsi0).
However this is quite impractical. The arbitrary difference between
the two type of devices has been a major source of user (and distro)
confusion. Additionally, there's an additional mini -hvsi implementation
in the pseries platform code for our low level debug console and early
boot kernel messages, which means code duplication, though that low
level variant is impractical as it's incapable of doing the initial
protocol negociation to establish the link to the FSP.
This essentially replaces the dedicated hvsi driver and the platform
udbg code completely by extending the existing hvc_vio backend used
in "raw" mode so that:
- It now supports HVSI as well
- We add support for hvc backend providing tiocm{get,set}
- It also provides a udbg interface for early debug and boot console
This is overall less code, though this will only be obvious once we
remove the old "hvsi" driver, which is still available for now. When
the old driver is enabled, the new code still kicks in for the low
level udbg console, replacing the old mini implementation in the platform
code, it just doesn't provide the higher level "hvc" interface.
In addition to producing generally simler code, this has several benefits
over our current situation:
- The user/distro only has to deal with /dev/hvcN for the hypervisor
console, avoiding all sort of confusion that has plagued us in the past
- The tty, kernel and low level debug console all use the same code
base which supports the full protocol establishment process, thus the
console is now available much earlier than it used to be with the
old HVSI driver. The kernel console works much earlier and udbg is
available much earlier too. Hackers can enable a hard coded very-early
debug console as well that works with HVSI (previously that was only
supported for the "raw" mode).
I've tried to keep the same semantics as hvsi relative to how I react
to things like CD changes, with some subtle differences though:
- I clear DTR on close if HUPCL is set
- Current hvsi triggers a hangup if it detects a up->down transition
on CD (you can still open a console with CD down). My new implementation
triggers a hangup if the link to the FSP is severed, and severs it upon
detecting a up->down transition on CD.

As requested by Arnd Bergmann, the hvc drivers are now
moved to the drivers/tty/hvc/ directory. The virtio_console.c driver
was also moved, as it required the hvc_console.h file to be able to be
built, and it really is a hvc driver.
